i wanted to play.
so i made a fanmix, i guess. i think this is my first post ever? um, i comment sometimes.
this is mostly indie-ish rock, so if you don't like it, ha. eventually i'll get around to uploading the files, but it takes quite awhile, and i have to go to work. review, comment, whatever. or if you really want the song, email me at nattttt (at) gmail (dot) com and i'll send you the files myself.
awe spoilers, maybe?
oh yeah, and i didn't make album art. my apologies.
-> okay, files up, as well as links to the full lyrics.
01. where we went wrong - the hush sound file lyrics
"My heart has lost its wind now
Broken like a dead sail,
My love has drifted out to sea,
My body has been claimed,
Soul has been shipped away,
Can't feel the sand between my toes,
We set the wrong course and headed due north-
That's where we went wrong"
02. you are a runner and i am my father's son - wolf parade file lyrics
"I'll draw three figures on your heart
One of them will be me as a boy
One of them will be me
One of them will be me watching you run
watching you run
Into the high noon sun
Watching you run
Farther than guns will go
You are a runner"
03. a mess to be made - the format file lyrics
"I was raised on something that you'll never know,
I'd hate this place if it weren't for the waves,
If it weren't for the fact that you love it,
Where they measure a man on the money he spends,
Well, my love is not a bank statement,
What a mess that I make of the days trying to save myself,
Save myself, then there's you, a mess to be made"
04. far away blues - joe purdy file lyrics
"Oh the water's mad,
She's been fighting with the wind,
I've been thinking of you,
Got these far away blues.
So please don't take me the wrong way,
Things are fine and people are great, but,
I've been thinking of you."
05. sea legs - the shins file lyrics
"Girl, if you're a seascape
I'm a listing boat, for the thinker there's every hope.
I invest in a single life
The choice is yours to be loved
Come away from it empty of... but us"
06. she's only happy in the sun - ben harper file lyrics
"Did you find what you were after?
The pain and the laughter brought you to your knees,
But if the sun sets you free, sets you free,
You'll be free indeed, indeed,
She's only happy in the sun"
07. water stop - dispatch file lyrics
"She is washed up on his shore,
There's no time to get into his life,
She is washed up on his shore,
There's no time to get into his life."
08. happier - guster file lyrics
"And now you're half awake
You bend till you break
And make the same mistakes...always
So go on, if this will make you happier
It got you this far, do what you have to"
09. swallowed in the sea - coldplay file lyrics
"You put me on a line
And hung me out to dry,
And darling, that's when I
decided to go to sea,
You cut me down to size,
And opened up my eyes,
Made me realize,
What I could not see"
10. she's always a woman (cover) - copeland file lyrics
"She can lead you to live,
She can take you or leave you,
She can ask for the truth,
But she'll never believe you,
And she'll take what you give her as long as it's free,
She steals like a thief,
But she's always a woman to me"
11. brothers on a hotel bed - death cab for cutie file lyrics
"You may tire of me as our December sun is setting because I'm not who I used to be,
No longer easy on the eyes but these wrinkles masterfully disguise,
The youthful boy below who turned your way and saw
Something he was not looking for: both a beginning and an end,
But now he lives inside someone he does not recognize"
12. you could be happy - snow patrol file lyrics
"You could be happy and I won't know,
But you weren't happy the day I watched you go.
And all the things that I wish I had not said,
Are played in loops till it's madness in my head.
Is it too late to remind you how we were?"
13. girl on the wing - the shins file lyrics
"One wound up punch of intuition
Lays flat my whole take on us.
You're the girl on the wing of a barnstormer
The tidal rabbit who came of age before her time.
We could have been so good-natured
If i'd relented when you insisted,
But we've been backed against
All nature's walls far too long."
14. catarina - joe purdy file lyrics
"You and I,
We didn't work out,
Darling that was only the first round ,
If it's true love then try, try again,
Would you really expect for us to win right away?"
15. rain king - counting crows file lyrics
"Well I belong in the service of the Queen,
I belong anywhere but in between,
She's been crying,
I've been thinking that I am the rain king"
16. i just don't think i'll ever get over you - colin hay file lyrics
"Without you here there is less to say,
I don't want you thinking I'm unhappy,
What is closer to the truth,
That if I lived till I was 102,
I just don't think I'll ever get over you"
17. hugging my grudge - boy least likely to file lyrics
"I have weapons and battle plans,
But in my heart I know
I can't ever protect you from
Things I don't understand."
18. running to stand still - u2 file lyrics
"She runs through the streets,
With her eyes painted red under a
Black belly of cloud in the rain.
In through a doorway she brings me
White gold and pearls, stolen from the sea.
She is raging, she is raging,
And the storm blows up in her eyes"
